Cowboys and Indians … boys will be boys …

The election may be over, but in this town, there’s still a BLUE VERSUS RED battle going on.  One which requires helmets. And pads. And mouth guards. And shin guards.

Sunday night is the game of the season - the Washington Redskins (coming off a bye week and a previous loss which supposedly predicted the outcome of the Election) take on the Dallas Cowboys at FedEx Field.  The anticipation and excitement in the air is electric.  Both sides (fans I am talking about - and did you know there are a lot of ‘Boys fans in DC? A LOT.) are rubbing their hands eagerly and salivating in anticipation of one long Sunday night.

As this is an NBC aired game, the iconic John Madden and his sidekick Al Michaels will grace our presence versus the Sunday games when we get glimpses of Troy Aikman walking outside of the Press Box.  

The Punch will be there with camera in tow for any shots of the Madden himself.

Do you know the reason behind the origination of the Cowboy & Redskins rivalry?  Many fans don’t, surprisingly.  Check it out:
